A farmer in old Japan prays to the gods for a wife, someone who is kind, beautiful, and hardworking. What would be even better is if she didn’t eat at all, saving him both money and food. Imagine his surprise when just such a woman shows up at his house one night. But all is not perfect. The gods have quite the sense of humor, and the farmer soon learns what kind of monster he is living with. But is it too late?“The Wife Who Didn’t Eat” is author Thersa Matsuura’s retelling of a classic horror-tinged Japanese folktale, “Kwazu Nyobo”. Here she reads her version of the story followed by a short commentary with some of her research notes and thoughts on the tale. Both the short story and commentary come in at just under one hour. Thersa Matsuura is a published author of two short story collections, one nominated for a Bram Stoker Award. You can also find her on her podcast, Uncanny Japan, where she talks more about the more obscure parts of Japanese culture. Reviews: “Very soothing, educational and entertaining. Love this deep dive into Japanese culture. Not to mention just the right amount of Spooky.” By Spooks76“High production value and haunting storytelling helps shed light onto Japanese folklore. Teresa is clear, concise and highlights stories that might otherwise never be heard by Western ears. Highly recommend!” By JameswhojamesyuMostra libro

Alexander Hamilton (1755–1804) was a key founding father—a politician, a constitutional thinker, and the nation’s first secretary of the treasury. He led the effort to write the brilliant defense and exposition of the Constitution, The Federalist, and later, as the nation’s first treasury secretary, he pioneered efforts to interpret the Constitution broadly, as a source of executive and judicial power. Finding his purpose in the American Revolution and in its sequel, the creation of the United States and its constitutional form of government, he sought to give the nation and its government the power and energy required to preserve the fruits of the Revolution and the nation’s survival in a hostile world. In this concise, elegant, and scholarly overview of his life, thought, career, and legacies, acclaimed biographer R. B. Bernstein shows his life as a record of struggle, war, ambition, and of the practice of law, fierce politics, and good government. A war hero, a brilliant lawyer, and a skilled and effective polemicist, Hamilton devoted his life and his career to the cause of American independence, the Union, and an effective general government. A perennial focus of controversy, a skilled and often ruthless political fighter, Hamilton helped to define the emerging partisan politics of the new nation. He was a key player in the quarrels over what its constitution meant and what powers it gave the Union. A brilliant administrator and a shrewd and cogent economic theorist, he created the American government’s role in the nation’s economic system and helped tosecure for the nation an effective and energetic general government. Hamilton was also a principal exponent of political combat in defense of personal and political honor. As such, he was a tragic victim of the honor culture he did so much to establish as a component of national politics, dying as the result of a mortal wound he suffered in his 1804 duel with Aaron Burr, his longtime antagonist.Mostra libro
